Are you asking people if you've committed a criminal offense? You know what you did; you should have some idea of provincial legislation; you should have an idea of what the possible outcomes of your hearing can be. If you don't, ask a lawyer, vague reassurance from an Internet forum means nothing.Flocan said:
It's not criminal, it's civil dispute because it's between the tenant and the organization/person that provides the tenancy.Flocan said:
If you don't know the difference between the criminal and civil law, you should voluntarily rescind your citizenship certificate.on-hold said:
Strange, that wasn't addressed to you -- look at the quote order, compassionate fellow.Flocan said:
Yes, I hate it when criticism gets confused . . . I think you misread my post -- I was simply recommending that Flocan not rely on Internet forums for legal advice. I do know that in general a landlord-tenant dispute is a civil matter, but I am also sure that there are situations when it could fall under criminal law as well. Since Flocan didn't give any details for estimating this, it's impossible to know. It's not a matter of 'compassion', and I'm not sure why I should feel compassionate for him anyway, though he seems to want me to.Empirical-Scientist said:
Bottom line: having any kind of information (comforting or worrisome), will not change the directive that you'd better tell the truth and accept the reality of your case. Even if FLocan has the most accurate information, will it change anything?on-hold said:
Yes, of course, and no, it won't. Too many issues are created when people try to micromanage their interactions with the government (see the recent thread of a family sponsorship that's on hold for two years because the husband lied needlessly about a prior visa refusal). Things are what they are, tell the truth and see what happens. Canada is by and large a reasonable country.Empirical-Scientist said:
